Herbert Lawrence Block, dit Herblock (né le 13 octobre 1909 à Chicago et mort le 7 octobre 2001 à Washington D.C.) est un dessinateur de presse américain actif de 1929 à sa mort en 2001, 55 ans après être devenu dessinateur principal du Washington Post. Adversaire farouche du maccarthysme (terme qu'il a forgé dans un dessin de mars 1950), de Richard Nixon et de l'industrie du tabac, il s'est attaqué jusqu'à sa mort aux sujets de sociétés les plus brûlants. Multi-primée, son œuvre figure parmi les plus célèbres de l'histoire du dessin de presse américain. À sa mort en octobre 2001, il lègue 50 000 000 $ pour créer une fondation défendant les causes qui lui furent cher ; celle-ci remet depuis 2004 le prix Herblock du dessin de presse, doté de 15 000 $.
